An Absent.Minded Bridegroom.

Not thousand years ago gentle
man from distant city welded fair
daughter of Athens. He had been con-
sidered by his friends as a confirmed
bachelor until he fell victim to the
charms of the fair maid. He was also
noted for his absent mindedness. This
was displayed when the minister was
performing the marriage ceremony.
When it became his duty to place the
ring upon her finger he drew a silver
quarter from his pocket and handed it
to the bride, to the CONSERVATION and
confusion of all parties. That after.
noon when he embarked on the train
with his bride for tour, and the con-
ductor came around for tickets, the
groom found that he had bought only
one ticket, forgetting that he had
doubled his expense and responsibilities
that day.-[Savannah News.

PROFIT SHARING AT ST. LOUIS.
Successful Working OF tho Plan In a
Largo Mandatory.

Mr.. N. o. Nelson, a prominent manufac-
turer Of st. Louis who has had nearly a
years experience in profit sharing with his
men, expresses the opinion that it is decided
ly the best plan for the prevention of strikes
and for the maintenance of good feeling be-
tween employer and employed. Last March
he inaugurated profit sharing in the factory
of the Nelson Manufacturing Com
pany, where between 50 and 100
men are employed. By agreement with the
men they were TO work so hours per week,
receive full pay, and at the end of the year,
after allowing per cent. on the capital in
vested an | paying himself a salary for his
own services, the remainder of the profits
was to be divided equally upon the total
amount of wages paid and capital employed.
Recently tho company declared dividend
of per cent. on salaries to employees, which
has been paid in cash or certificates
bearing ilteres The employees,
of their own accord, requested return to
full time, when they were told the other
manufactures had abandoned the eght-hour
plan aud have worked to greater advantage
than previously. Mr.. Nelson has added sew
eral new features to his plan for the present
ear. Ten per cent OF the profits is to be
devoted 10 the foundation of a provident
and relief fund for employees; 10 per cent.
will be set aside for surplus fund to cover
losing years, and 10 per cent. will go into
the purchase of books for the employees Ii

EnSIl0pe Facts.

A commentator on ensilage lately re-
marked, "The sole purpose of our
farm and dairy is to make us money,
and we are endeavoring to learn how to
produce the most milk at the least cost.
A silo is receptacle where grasses and
corn is deposited and kept from the air,
on the same principle as we can fruit.
The silo preserves the food in its early
condition, and can be used during the
winter to make milk. We find It neces-
sary to get the largest crop possible for
the land to produce, and we have a
corn peculiarly adapted to this use.
There has uccn great deal of unbelief
in this matter, and farmers seem to be
afraid to take hold of it because it is
new. Those who have the mind to look
into it soon learn to appreciate its ad-
vantages and those who have silos in
variably show an increase in the produc-
ton of milk We plant the corn with
drills, with the rows 80 inches apart.
Cultivate two to four times year, and
and cut it rs soon as it COM
mences to ear. 1t is question whether
ensilage is better to be preserved sweet
or sour, which is not yet decided. The
corn is cut into pieces one inch long,
and it takes about thirt y days to fill
the silo. Feed the cattle forty pounds
daily of the ensilage three times day,
with ration of dry cut fodder and
meal twice a day. The cattle do
splendidly on this system of feeding, and
when through milking they are fat, and
sell for beef at good prices.

Tomato Culture.

A recent bulletin of the Michigan.
Agricultural Station Bulletin has the fol-
lowing in regard to tomatoes: "Three
methods of training tomatoes were en-
ployed this year, and another last year.
All the experimental tomatoes were tied
to one, two or three stakes about four
feet high. This method has many i'd
vantages. 1t requires much labor to tic
the plants, labor which must be re-
peated through the growing season. The
tomatoes do not ripen evenly and early,
and it requires extraordinary time and
labor to pick them from the dense mass
of stems and foliage. Although the
outlay for the stakes is small, this meth
cd of training is still the most expensive
of the four. Last year we laid old boards
lengthwisc the rows and close to the
plants supporting them with pieces of
scantling or blocks laid upon the ground
and placed straw upon the boards. This
method kept the tomatoes clean, but it
appeared to increase the rot. 1t Ger
tainly caused the lower ripe tomatoes to
rot prematurely. In our market patch
this year we adopted two sorts OF racks.
The first was separate rack for each
plant. A stake was driven on either
side of the plant, about fifteen
inches from it, and leaning so
as to make an angle of about twenty de-
grees with the perpendicular. Upon
these stakes three cross Stats were nailed
in the manner of ladder. The plant
was allowed to lop upon the racks. It
was found necessary to tie it, however,
and even then branches slipped off or
broke themselves over the Stats. The
second of these racks was continuous
throughout the row. About every six
or eight feet a stout stake was driven on
either side of the row and fifteen in
ches from the plant; the stakes, when
firm y driven, standing some over a foot
high. A strip of old boards was nailed
near the top of the posts, along either
side of the row. Then edgings were
| tackled across from one side to the other,
fourNabout each plant and foot apart.
The plant now found itself growing up
between the horizontal edgings, and as
it began to lop the rack held it above
the ground. Upon this simple rack the
tomatoes needed no tying nor training,
and they spread themselves freely to the
sunlight. The circulation of the all
under the racks was so free that there
was no unusual danger from rot. This
is decidedly the best rack which we have
tried. We noticed, also, that the fruit
ripencd moro uniformly here than on the
plants which were tied to stakes.

HoUsE.-Mr. Morrison of Illinois, from the
committee on rul IS, reported resolutions set
ting apart Thursday next for the c)nsidera-
ton OF business reported by the committee
on foreign affairs and ordering night ses-
sion for the consideration of business report
ed by the committee on military affairs.
Adopted.
Nj. Steele of Indiana attempted TO call up
for consideration thu bill for the reorganiza-
ton o. tie army, suggesting that, as war
had been declared, it was important that &C
ton should be taken on that measure The
suggestion raised laugh, but the HOUSE de-
clined to take up the special order, and went
into committee of the whole on the postof-
flee appropriation bill.
Mr. o. Ferrill of Virginia took advantage
of the general debate to deliver a speech in
favor of the Blair educational bill resting
its constitutionality upon the general wei
fare Clause. There was not, he argued, a
single provision in the bill which infringed
upon any right of a state. He hoped that
the House, following the example of the
Senate, would send joy and adness into
every home IN the country by passing this
measure in the interest OF the great cause OF
education.
The consideration of the bill was then COM
pleted, and, the committee having risen, the
bill was passed.
The Hou then, at 4:45 p. m, adjourned.

In Three Acts.

Act first consisted of prominent citi-
zen driving down town in his cutter,
leaving the rig on Monroe avenue for a
lew minutes, and returning to find his
wolf-robc gone. The audience wasn't
moved to tears as the curtain went down.
On the contrary, the audience jumped
up and swore to be revenged if it took
a thousand years.
Active opened with the stage set as
before. 1t was snow scene, with a
horse and cutter hitched to the same
post as in act first. A robe was tempt
ingly exposed over the back of the cut
ter, while the prom. cit. was concealed
in doorway near by. Scene two OF
act two opened with the appearance in
the vicinity of a young man with hungry
look and scanty rainment, and closed
as he walked up to the cutter and
twitched off the robe. ...
Act third opened with the same snow
scene, but the characters had changed
their situations The prom. cit. had
the young man by the collar and was
aboring him with rawhide, the robe
was lying on the ground, and the horse
was carefully licking at the frosty iron
post and chuckling his satisfaction.
Scene second showed young mar
limping up the avenue, prom. cit.
driving down the avenue, and score Of
people standing huddled together and
asking each other why those cries of fire
murder and police! Then the curtain
fell, and while the market for wolf robes

THE FARM AND GARDEN,
Culture OF Asparagus.

Mr.. Joseph Harris argues, in the
American Agriculturist, that 'the plants
which contain comparatively little nitro
gen require sap of the SOIL rich,
rather than poor, in nitrogen. Turnips
contain comparatively little phosphates,
and yet soluble phosphates are found Of
value as manure for turnips. Wheat
and barley contain comparatively little
nitrogen. while clover, peas and beans
contain high proportion Of nitrogen;
and yet it is well-known fact that to
produce good crop of wheat or barley,
the sap of the soil must be richer in nj,

that is necessary for buttermaker to do
